It gets the brain a-thinkin - the salmon always seem so doomed and their chances so slim. <br /><br />The second is well, hair raising. A skull - one song - NO changing its mind.

I know you are not a fan of closely rhyming stanzas, but you have such a skill matching meaningful words - it's a kind of magick to see it done.<br /><br />Both poems have an unnerving energy, like a step too close might result in one being zapped. I can hardly choose between the recurring lines for a favourite, and you have shown how such a line can take on new meaning and cadence within each new context. <br /><br />Splendid work!Kerry O'Connorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00720862912375945249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107838361391025851.post-9889049396603001962014-02-16T09:18:57.347-05:002014-02-16T09:18:57.347-05:00Goodness, Shay these are just exquisite, both of t...Goodness, Shay these are just exquisite, both of them. I love the first, but the second has its own chilly and deliciously grim appeal--and of course, it goes without saying, I love it when you rhyme--this is like a sugar rush of form and Fireblossom, and better than a baker's dozen of doughnuts. You know I don't often quote but good grief woman:<br /> 'While fish-brained babies softly sleep,<br />a salmon sees the bear and leaps.<br />Say "baby mine and baby sweet"<br />and kiss its tiny foreign feet.' <br />not to mention the first two stanzas of the second one. *pulls hair out by roots and pours coffee on keyboard* <br />I love every word.hedgewitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13090696134322515899noreply@blogger.com
